    Hi,

    I've got an Acer 3810TZ, about 6 months ago the LED screen went dark, i could just make out the icons on the screen if I used a light up close to the screen, but it wasn't usable so got the screen replaced.

    Now in the last few days i'm getting the same problem but intermittently, i assume this is a problem with the video cable rather then screen as it's not always dark like before. But when I need some advise about is when the screen is working OK is there is a constant dark patch in the bottom right of the screen like it's bruised, could a video cable problem cause this or it is likely to be something else? I can't get hold of a replacement cable until start of Jan so any options before I buy one would be useful.

    Also when connected to external monitor there are no problems, dark patches etc so I presume the GPU is fine.

    Cheers
    Dom

    Take it back to who ever replaced it, It does not sound right..It sounds like the new screen is bad as well..

    Have you checked on your appearance settings? Power settings? and Brightness settings?
